Actress and environmentalist Bhumi Pednekar, who is at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, talked about the challenges in bringing about greater gender equality in society and also about her acting career.

Recognised as a Young Global Leader (YGL) by the World Economic Forum last year, Bhumi Pednekar said she was keen to be a good role model for young girls who watch movies.

“We all are here just to have positive conversations about how can we make the world better and, honestly, I’m full of gratitude that I was given this opportunity because right from the start of my career with my work on screen and off screen, I’ve truly tried to make a difference,” she said.

Bhumi said there was a need for more women in places of power. “We need women in places of power and this change needs to happen from a grassroots level— from the grassroots level to boardrooms. We need to see women in the process of decision-making.”
